I'm talking about our early Christmas Party, Despedida and Baby Shower rolled into one last Friday with our Couples for Christ (CFC) household. Another member of the household is giving birth on February but they are leaving for the US on the first week of January so we had their Despedida and Baby Shower early. Since another member is giving birth next week (I think!) so we had our Christmas party a few weeks early too.
We had a blast as usual. Food was overflowing! We draw lots on what to bring and I was so lucky that I got dessert the easiest! LOL! Anyway, here is our menu for that night.
- Taco Salad - Oh, I love it! I got the recipe and might serve it in one of our parties here at home.
- California Maki - Very similar to what we ordered at Tok-Yu Sushi Bar a couple of weeks ago. I love it too!
- Mashed Potato - Perfect for the Roast Beef
- Roast Beef - Our friend ordered from Conti's. If it's from Conti's you'll never go wrong. It was a hit!
- Chicken Empanada - also from Conti's. It was yummy!
- Fish with Parmesan - also from Conti's. The first (and only) fish dish that I really love. Usually I don't like to order a fish dish. And this is one, my friend got for p1,000 which is already good for 12 - 15 pax.
- Spaghetti - made by our friend. It was a hit too!
- Estrels' Caramel Cake - Courtesy of me and Hubby. :) One of my fave dessert. I just ordered it three days ago, then we picked it up last Friday before the party. I loooove it!
- Capuccino and lots of booze ;) - The Cappuccino was awesome! It went well with the caramel cake. For the guys, they had a beer from China. The ladies drank the new product from Bailey's (Bailey's with Mint). It was yummy!
After dinner we gave our our gifts for the Baby shower of Mr. and Mrs F. Our friends will be having a boy on February. I had a great time shopping for a boy. :) I think I had enough of pink stuff already. hehehe!
Oh boy, I can't just take a decent picture of the guys!
with Two preggies on the way, who's next!?
After the shower, it was videoke time for the boys and chika time for the ladies. Although we had to end early (around 12 midnight) because most of us need to leave early the next day.
We will surely going to miss Mr. and Mrs F. We just pray for more blessings and that God will lead you to where you want to be. Our prayers and love for the new baby boy. And we hope that we would always keep in touch. ;)
